Your Challenge

• What would one Church for three different denominations be like?

• Denominations are different groups within a religion. In this case each group has its own beliefs and practices about certain parts of Christianity, but they also have

similar beliefs and practices too. The four denominations we have studied are;

• Anglican• Roman Catholic

• Quaker• Methodist.

• However you will only choose three for your final project.

Your Challenge

Your Challenge

Your challenge is to design a building where each of your Christian clients can share in worship. There will be some key objects

that your church needs if all 3 denominations are to be happy, but there

will be others that perhaps you can do without.

Multi Denominational Church

Sketch out a basic out line of some of your ideas (remember to take into account what you saw and found out on the RS trip). Try and be original and come up with your own ideas rather than copying others.

Multi Denominational Church

• Now think about the sort of atmosphere you want to create in your Church. Catholics, Anglicans and Orthodox said that they like more formal worship, a calm and reverent (holy) atmosphere. They also often use incense, artwork, and candles to contribute to the atmosphere. The Methodists like a plain church but like a simple service with some good solid singing and none of this ‘smells and bells’. They want a lively and joyful atmosphere. The Quakers have a silent style service and plain meeting halls and often do not use music at all. They want a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere.

Multi Denominational Church

• Activities, a timetable of events, what will happen in your Church, why and how?
